Smart Home Environments (SHE) are emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm including ubiquitous, grid, and peer-to-peer computing to provide computing and communication services any time and anywhere. But in order to realize their advantages, it requires the intelligent systems to be suitable for SHE. In addtion, it will be proved user-centric services that can remotely access and control all information appliances in the workplace as well as at home, and easily and conveniently use various services to enable working from home, remote education, remote diagnosis, virtual shopping, network gaming, and portal & high quality VOD with no limitations on space and time. Our workshop is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of SHE including intelligent system, security services, business models, and novel applications associated with its utilization. In this workshop, we plan to publish high quality papers, which cover the various theories and practical applications related smart home. The published papers are expected to present the high level results to solve the application services and various problems in the various SH fields. In addition, we expect they will trigger further related research and technology improvements for SH. The goal of this Workshop is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to all aspects of intelligent systems and smart home.

We invite authors to submit papers on any aspect of intelligence systems / smart home research and practice. All papers will be peer reviewed, and those accepted for the workshop will be included in a proceedings volume published by Springer-Verlag.
